Hi All,
Well it’s that time again. We are delighted to announce that ILTCO has been
invited to display at the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) annual
National Train Show (NTS) again! This year the NMRA 2006 NTS will be held in
Philadelphia, PA (immediately following the NMRA National Model Railroad
Convention), at the Pennsylvania Convention Center July 7 – 9, 2006. We have
been allocated as much space as we would like at the show; as last year’s layout
completely blew them away!
Last year we had 13 ILTCO-member clubs and visitors from several other clubs;
about 75 AFOLs total. We are looking forward to seeing you all there weather you
are part of a large club contingent or just a LEGO train enthusiast wanting to
have a great time and join in the fun. We plan on plenty of after hour’s
activities (aka parties) too, where the opportunity to hang with the great
builders from all around the country is top priority, this time we even hope to
lure some international folks.
As many of you know the NMRA is the biggest model railroading organization
worldwide, and their annual conventions and train shows draw tons of visitors
from the US, and many from abroad. Last year we had over 20,000 visitors to the
train show and it was clear that the LEGO layout was one of the largest
attractions due to all the hard work and artistry of the AFOLs that
participated. The NMRA NTS is the ultimate platform to show the LEGO train hobby
to fellow train enthusiasts, as well as to the general public.
We will periodically post updates on the coming show and hope you will have a
chance to participate in the display in Philly. If you and/or your club plan to
participate please send me an email ASAP. We are gathering info from the clubs
now in terms of number of attendees and space allocation for the layout.
…see you in Philly!
Thanks,
Steve Barile
